Lahore: Special Assistant to Prime Minister Attaullah Tarar’s house was raided by Punjab Police in Lahore in the early hours of Saturday.
However, at the time of the raid, Attaullah Tarar was not present at the house.
In a tweet, Tarar reacted to the raid and asked Punjab Home Minister Hashim Dogar what did he want to prove by sending police to a house where Tarar no longer lived.
He advised Hashim Dogar to refrain from going to the extreme in defence of “anti-state narratives”.
ہاشم ڈوگر صاحب میرا خیال تھا آپ وزیر ہیں مگر آپ تو انتہائی غیر سنجیدہ کردار نکلے۔ جس گھر میں، میں 15 سال پہلے رہتاتھا وہاں پولیس بھیج کر کسی راہگیرکو ہراساں کر کے کیا ثابت کرنا چاہتے ہیں۔ یہ حال ہے آپ کا، خاک وزارت چلانی ہے آپ نے۔ ملک دشمن بیانئے کے دفاع میں اتنا آگے نہ جائیں
